Medical Xpress / Study shows use of obesity drugs alongside behavioral intervention is associated with reduced 'food noise'
New research presented at this year's European Congress on Obesity in Istanbul, Turkey, shows that use of obesity drugs alongside behavioral interventions leads to a larger drop in so‑called food noise than in those using ...
Medical Xpress / When estrogen drops, liver inflammation and cholesterol changes may raise heart risk
For decades, scientists have known that estrogen protects cardiovascular health, but exactly how that protection works—and what happens when it disappears—has remained unclear. New research from University of Texas at Arlington ...
Medical Xpress / Novel vision-language model to support diagnosis using CT scans
Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, making early and accurate diagnosis essential for improving patient outcomes. Chest computed tomography (CT) scans are widely used to detect ...
Phys.org / 'Mobile' DNA elements may have expanded gene regulatory networks in brain development
Scientists have uncovered evidence supporting a mechanism in which transposable elements (TEs), once considered "non-functional" DNA, may have contributed to the evolution and expansion of gene regulation during neural development. ...
Tech Xplore / AI-assisted scans aim to catch ceramic defects earlier in production
At Sandia National Laboratories, a new inspection workflow is taking shape that could help catch tiny defects earlier in the manufacturing process for ceramic components.
Tech Xplore / Team identifies where renewable hydrogen delivers the greatest social benefit
Renewable electrolytic hydrogen produced by using electricity drawn from wind and solar sources delivers its greatest societal value when applied to steelmaking, transoceanic shipping and long-haul heavy-duty trucking, according ...
Medical Xpress / Well-being of 11 million American children threatened in recent years by criminally charged family members
A cross-sectional study of more than 76 million American children by researchers has found that approximately 15%—or over 11 million—of the children had a family member who was criminally charged within the past five years, ...
Medical Xpress / Simple home test predicts mobility decline in older adults
Predicting whether a healthy 45-year-old will struggle to climb stairs or walk a decade later has long been a challenge for geriatric medicine. Now, a study published in JMIR Aging, reveals that early mobility decline can ...
Medical Xpress / First-in-human trial demonstrates promise of implantable cytokine factories for ovarian cancer
Implantable cytokine factories designed to deliver immunotherapy directly at the site of disease have taken an important step toward clinical reality. Researchers at Rice University, in collaboration with The University of ...
Medical Xpress / AI models comb patient data to predict cardiac arrest risk
Researchers have developed artificial intelligence (AI) models that can scrutinize electronic health records (EHR) and electrocardiograms to identify individuals in the general population at elevated risk for sudden cardiac ...
Medical Xpress / Reducing animal suffering in cancer research with fetal bovine serum-free cell culture models
For decades, human cancer cell lines have been indispensable models for cancer research, already replacing a significant number of animal experiments. However, the use of fetal bovine serum (FBS) in their cultivation is easily ...
Medical Xpress / Randomized controlled trials could be harming nonprofits, experts argue
In the 1940s, medical researchers began using randomized controlled trials to assess the efficacy of health interventions. In RCTs, researchers create randomly assigned treatment and control groups, administering the potential ...
